The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-24 (AlsaPlayer: Multiple buffer overflows)
AlsaPlayer contains three buffer overflows: in the function that handles the HTTP connections, the GTK interface, and the CDDB querying mechanism.
Impact :
An attacker could exploit the first vulnerability by enticing a user to load a malicious URL resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running AlsaPlayer.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
